Shweta also shared an old Instagram post by Sushant, in which Sushant Singh talked about the kind of educational setup he wanted to create for students. His post read as, "I dream to create an environment where kids of India— and elsewhere, get 'free', improved and relevant education and a great many ways to acquire any skill of choice for free. To create a structure like this, and now, could be highly possible with the right intentions and some working knowledge of chaos and game theories, non-zero-sum structures that bio-mimic. Any suggestion/ feedback/idea for the Cause, if you have, please do share. I would be highly obliged. It's about time that we acknowledge 'convergence' that's happening all around the globe and make the youth more competent and happy 'now'. Because as they say, the more we learn, the lesser time it takes for us to learn even more. Let's begin. It's about 'time'.”

Sushant Singh Rajput was born in India and passed on in June 2020.
